Hi Nikhil,

You can do it by first implementing your desired type in your extension then declare the new type in yourcustomextension-items.xml:

 <atomictypes>
 <atomictype class="myextension.somepackage.CustomAtomicType" 
 extends="java.jang.Object" autocreate="true" />
 </atomictypes>

More information about structure of items.xml: https://help.hybris.com/6.6.0/hcd/8bff7a568669101488a5e40cb7bbd0b9.html

System update with “Localize types” option might be required. You can check in the backoffice if the type was added successfully: Backofice->System->Types->Search for your custom type.

Additional customization might be necessary.

Hope this helps and Best Regards,
